NEW YORK, July a29well, I'm tired
out, and I guess I'll go home.n said Jacob
B Dermarest, OF Paterson, to Inspector
Aaron Van Biarcom, his old friend. The
first speaker, who was Sc years old. sat In
front Of the plumbing shop of his grand.
daughters husband, James vapkirk. on
River street.
Yes answered Mi. Van Blarcom,
ITS time to go home, for it's about din
ner time. will go home, too, aud will
soc you after dinner J,
No you WON'T said Demarest.
sWhyf'' asked Van Blarcom.
Because I'm going to my long home .
Nonsense, = said Van Blarcom. aYou
will have to wait till yoHr time comes,
/ gness.n
MI. Van Blarcom then went home to
dinner. AL the time he was eating he
felt impressed with the idea that the
manner OF his old friend had been strange
during the conversation, and It began to
dawn on him that perhaps Demarest
meant to commit suicide. Az soon al he
had his dinner he hurried TO the plumb
er's shop. There was i big crowd about
the place. In the back room Demarest
lay on the floor deaG. He had shot HIM
self through the temple, aud his death
was instantaneous. Tho old mar leaves
considerable estate to his children and
grandchildren. he had made his Will
and put all his. affairs In order. A short
time ago he proposed marriage to q
young girl not 80 old as his g~randdaugh-
ter, and was laughingly rejected. The
aged suitor seems to have taken his re-
lection greatly to heart, and this il
thought to have affected his mind and
led to the suicide.

Che Escape of Aid. McCabe to Canada
Engineered by His Wife.
Nav YORK, July 22.--The district at
tornes's Office was dcmoralized over the
escape Of Aid. McCabe. While the. OIL
cials there are yainly e~ndeavoring to hide
their chagrin at their apparent neglect,
Inspector Byrnes' detectives are engaged
in q hunt for the fugitive. McCabe is at
present in Hamilton, Ont. His wife is
with him, and his lawyers have already
complicated his finances so that creditors
are left out in the cold. Mrs. McCabe is
credited with engineering the whole
scheme. The story, as told by a friend
of the alleged insane boodler, is as fol-
lows: When MeCabe was called IN trial
for bribery his counsel claimed that he
was not of sound mind. A sheriff's
jury SO decided, and Recorder Slnyth
committed him to his wifo's care until
such time as he might recover his reason.
John e.. Farley and Robert McCafferty
put up $50, 600 as a guarantee that Nc
Cabe would be on hand whenever he was
wanted. McCabo's creditors put a watch
on his movements, and came to the con-
clusion that If he was insane he could
pot issccslalyy y his property. to his
wife and thus defraud them. They have
accumulated evidence to show that he
is sane, and when Mrs. McCabe learned
that Z motion would be made to test his
sanity unless he paid up she made ar
engagements to save her husband. The
scheme was to have q commission decide
that McCabe was of sound mind; then
the district attorney would have to try
him. His bondsmen have been taken
care of and McCabe will reside In Can
ada hereafter.

A Curious Marriage Complication
Living Under tho Same Roof
as Relatives

HANNIBAL, Mo-, July CIV. H. Bar
mum is a respectable, although hard
working carpenter and builder, living on
Hope street. On June 5, 1882, he was
marriedto Jennie Lehigh, OF Bay City,
Mich, and removed to this city. Two
children, twins, were the result of the
union, and are now about 8 years of age.
They were awarded the premium at a re-
cent baby show. The couple lived ap-
parently very happily. On the 18th of
the Barnum home. The husband intro
duced them as his cousin and her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Barnum welcomed her hus
bands relatives and they remained her
guests until she witnessed several loving
scenes between the lady and her husband
that she considered altogether out of
place for blood relatives. She became
violently jealous, and finally, during a
war of words between the two women,
Mrs. Haney, 1.-THE cousin stated that
She was the lawful wife of Barnum. An
investigation proved that her statement
was true. She produced q marriage GER
t~ificate, showing that she and Barnum
had been married or March 10, 1857, at
lngersol, Oxford county, Ont. They
Lived together until November 81, 1857,
when they separated for some cause,
which the woman refuses to divulge.
They did not hear from each other until
three years since, when Barnum visited
her in Michigan and proposed to her to
remove to this city, and he would sup
port her II she would assume to be his
cousin. She did as he requested, with
the result as given above.
Rarnum acknowledges the statement
of wife No. TO be true. He says that
he had ~endeavored to find her, but she
changed her name and thus eluded him.
About three years before he married his
second wife he received letters from par
tses living in Saginaw, Mich, informing
him that his first wife was dead, and he
took the matter for granted. Three
years ago he learned that she was married
and concluded to let the matter rest,
thinking that the facts would never be-
come known. He says that he has been
corresponding with her since that time,
and, his daughter being very dear to
him, he concluded to take them under
his " roof and help support them. She
says that although he is guilty of bigamy
in the eyes of the law, yet he was inno-
cent when the crime was committed. as
he was positive that his first wife was
dead. Mrs. Barnum No. l is a handsome
I brunette. about 3S years old, and a very
intelligent lady. Mrs. Barnum No. 9 is
q blonde, of fine form and figure. She
has many friends in this city. who sym.
pathise with her In her troubles.
The strange part about the affair il
that neither wife will prosecute the hus.
band for bigamy. and each offers to live
with him If he will compromise the mat,
ter with the other and get her to leave
h field. The case will doubtless find
its way into the courts. Barnum still
lives with wife No. 2, although she il
packing up preparatory to leaving unit
the husband decides unto which he will
cleave or until the arm Of law shall gel
him In its clutches.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July . Articles
Were filed with the secretary of state in
Madison Incorporating the Grand Lodge
tor Wisconsin of The International Order
of Odd Fellows. This is understood to
mean a general discussion in the ranks of
the Odd Fellows order brought about by
the refusal of the supreme council to re.
cognize as a branch of that order the
Patriarchal Circle, a society which makes
membership of the Odd Fellows necessary
to initiation. At the last session of the
Wisconsin Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows,
held in Madison in June, Grand Sire
White addressed the lodge in reference to
the Partriarchal Circle, unfolding the
mandate of the Supreme Lodge in re-
fusfng recognition to this circle. His re-
marks were received with enthusiasm
and his action Endorsed unanimously. In
retaliation the lenders of the Patriarchal
Circle a v organized this Grand Lodge

the terror of that section. After being
with his brother a short time he stole a
valuable horse and skipped the ranch
as his brother says.
For some time no one thought OF con

the stealing being credited to some expert
professional horse-thief. AT last they
succeeded in striking his trail, butt it took
a dozen men a week To hunt him down..
When ~cornered the young rascal showed

him; but they couldn't bring themselves
up to the point of shooting at q boy, and
they were obliged to starye the youngster

of killing the horse, but finally concluded
to SURRENDER.
After a persistent attempt to reform

for the change, and last night his

good talking to. George seemed more

it might be we'll to watch his brother,

was so lamb-like that he became unsus
picious, and at last dropped asleep. He
awoke when George got up and quietly
opened his knife, then John felt the
hand of his brother passing slowly over
his face and down to his throat. He
jumped up and grabbed the hand Of the
young villain just as the point of the
knife touched his throat, and just in

"You meant to kill me-" he said to
George.

young desperate, 'tand III have better

After becoming convinced that he was
bound to kill some one if left at liberty,
his brother had him arrested, and Judge
Gould sent him to the state reform school
during his minority.
